    <![CDATA[  <strong>The Extraordinary <em>New York Times</em> Bestseller</strong>  <p>  In California’s central valley, five women and one man join to discuss Jane Austen’s   novels.  Over the six months they get together, marriages are tested, affairs begin,   unsuitable arrangements become suitable, and love happens.  With her eye for the   frailties of human behavior and her ear for the absurdities of social intercourse, Karen Joy   Fowler has never been wittier nor her characters more appealing.  The result is a delicious   dissection of modern relationships.  <p>  Dedicated Austenites will delight in unearthing the echoes of Austen that run through the   novel, but most readers will simply enjoy the vision and voice that, despite two centuries   of separation, unite two great writers of brilliant social comedy.</p></p>]]>

    <![CDATA[<em>Wit's End</em> is many things: a quest novel - a young woman's search for the truth about her dead father's past; a mystery - the story of a long-ago murder in which that father might have been complicit; and a game - one that ensnares readers in cunning deceptions, challenging them to separate the true from the fictive.<br/><br/> Set in contemporary Santa Cruz, the novel centers on Rima Lanisell, a young woman at loose ends, having just lost her father to cancer. (Rima seems to lose people and things habitually - sunglasses and car keys, lovers and family members.) Now she has come to coastal California at the behest of her godmother, Addison Early, who once knew Rima's father well. Perhaps too well. Rima is on a mission to discover just what that relationship was really about.<br/><br/> Addison, a bestselling mystery writer, is secretive and feisty. Over the years, she has tried to protect her work and her privacy as her passionate fans have become ever more intrusive. In this age of the Internet, with its blogs, chat rooms, websites, its Wikipedia, false personas, and hidden identities, those fans have begun to take over the plot lines and the life of her famous fictional detective. For many, he is more real than Addison herself. So <em>Wit's End</em> is also a highly inventive take on the way dedicated readers appropriate their favorite books, perhaps the one act of theft applauded the world over - except by authors.<br/><br/> Above all, <em>Wit's End</em> is Karen Joy Fowler at her most subversive and witty, creating characters both oddball and endearing in a voice that is uniquely and memorably her own.]]>

    <![CDATA[Lizzie Hayes, a member of the San Francisco elite, is a  seemingly docile, middle-aged spinster praised for her volunteer work with the Ladies Relief and Protection Society Home, or &quot;The Brown Ark&quot;. All she needs is the spark that will liberate her from the ruling conventions. When the wealthy and well-connected, but ill-reputed Mary Ellen Pleasant shows up at the Brown Ark, Lizzie is drawn to her.  It is the beautiful, but mysterious Mary Ellen, an outcast among the women of the elite because of her notorious past and her involvement in voodoo, who will eventually hold the key to unlocking Lizzie's rebellious nature. <br/><br/>   Loosely based in historical fact, <em>Sister Noon</em> is a wryly funny, playfully mysterious, and totally subversive novel from this &quot;fine writer&quot; whose &quot;language dazzles&quot; (<em>San Francisco Chronicle</em>). <br/><br/> &quot;<em>Sister Noon</em> is funny, lyrical, spooky, inspired . . . A work of enchanting rumination-and one of the year's best reads.&quot; (Michael Upchurch, <em>The Seattle Times</em>)]]>

    <![CDATA[Though most men had returned to their hometowns after World War II, few came back to the tiny village of Magrit, Minnesota. Irini, a nineteen year-old woman, works in the Scientific Kitchen at Margaret Mill, a cereal factory, with most of Magrit's other eligible bachelorettes. Hoping to promote his business and attract some suitors for his staff, the owner of the mill forms a women's baseball team called the Sweetwheat Sweethearts. Irini, who wields a fearsome throwing arm, strong from kneading bread dough, is the team's star center fielder and her successes, failures, and revelations on and off the ball field are endearingly recalled by her now grown daughter.]]>

    <![CDATA[Gifted novelist Fowler (Sarah Canary and The Sweetheart Season) delights in the arcane, and, as a result, these 15 clever tales are occasionally puzzling but never dull. In the long title story, temperance activist Carry Nation is resurrected in the 1990s (&quot;We're talking about a very troubled, very big woman,&quot; says one shaken barman to reporters) and becomes such a nuisance that the DEA is forced to dispatch her with voodoo. Other plots are only slightly less outrageous in conceit. In &quot;Lieserl,&quot; a lovesick madwoman dupes Albert Einstein into believing he has a daughter; in &quot;The Faithful Companion at Forty,&quot; Tonto admits to second thoughts about his biggest life choice (&quot;But for every day, for your ordinary life, a mask is only going to make you more obvious. There's an element of exhibitionism in it&quot;). &quot;The Travails&quot; offers a peek at the one-sided correspondence of Mary Gulliver, who wants Lemuel to come home already and help out around the house. The homage to Swift makes sense, for, when Fowler doesn't settle for amusing her readers, she makes a lively satirist. The extraterrestrials who appear in her stories (whether the inscrutably sadistic monsters in &quot;Duplicity&quot; or the members of a seminar studying late-1960s college behavior in &quot;The View From Venus: A Case Study&quot;) seem stand-ins for the author herself, who, in elegant and witty prose, cultivates the eye of a curious alien and, along the way, unfolds eccentric plots that keep the pages turning.]]>

    <![CDATA[&lt;div&gt;Returning again to the fertile ground of sex and identity, this third entry in a successful and controversial anthology series continues to celebrate thought-provoking and provocative fiction that explores and expands gender. Through their subversive, engaging stories, Tiptree Award&#8211;winning authors offer fascinating speculations on the ever-increasing mutability of our public&#8212;and private&#8212;selves. James Tiptree, Jr. was the pseudonym of Alice Bradley Sheldon, whose lasting contributions to the gender-bending genre are honored with this annual award, now in its 15th year. Previous winners of the Tiptree Award include Karen Joy Fowler, Ursula K. Le Guin, M. John Harrison, Kelly Link, Joe Haldeman, and Joanna Russ.&lt;/div&gt;]]>

    <![CDATA[The annual Nebula Awards are given by the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America to honor the best novel, novella, novelette, and short story of the previous year.  <em>Nebula Awards 33</em> editor and six-time Nebula winner Connie Willis reveals her love of the Nebula collection tradition:<p> <blockquote>&quot;In those 33 eventful years, I've won Nebula Awards and lost them (or, as this year's toastmaster, Michael Cassutt, put it, I've been 'differently victorious'). And I've read another 31 <em>Nebula Awards</em> collections and all the stories in them.... And you know what? I'm just as dazzled, just as awed and impressed, by the Nebula Award stories as I was that first time.&quot;</blockquote><p> <em>Nebula Awards 33</em> features Jane Yolen's Best Short Story winner, <em>Sister Emily's Lightship</em>, a tale of poetic inspiration from the stars; <em>The Flowers of Aulit Prison</em>, Nancy Kress's winner for Best Novelette, which beautifully examines the persistence of memory; the Best Novella winner, Jerry Oltion's <em>Abandon in Place</em>, an extraordinary space-ghost story; and an excerpt from Vonda N. McIntyre's lush historical fantasy <em>The Moon and the Sun</em>, which took Best Novel honors.<p> A terrific selection of &quot;differently victorious&quot; pieces rounds out this outstanding collection, along with the essays, author profiles (of Nelson Bond and Poul Anderson), and Rhysling Award winners (for science fiction poetry) we've come to expect in the Nebula series. The Nebula nominees represent some of the best science fiction and fantasy published each year, and <em>Nebula Awards 33</em> is full of high-caliber writing, great ideas, and fascinating insight into the minds and hearts of the nominated authors. <em>--Therese Littleton</em></p></p></p>]]>

    <![CDATA[L. Ron Hubbard established the &quot;Writers of the Future&quot; Contest in late 1983, offering new and aspiring writers a chance to have their works seen and read. Since that beginning, the imaginative works from these exceptionally talented new writers in the fields of science fiction, fantasy and horror have been published in one of the &quot;L. Ron Hubbard Presents Writers of the Future&quot; anthologies and have provided readers an escape to new worlds ever since.<br/><br/>As was L. Ron Hubbard's intention, many of these talents have gone on to become established writers. Now for the first time, sixteen creative stories from the first eight volumes that helped launch successful careers have been assembled, providing hours of reading entertainment&mdash;your ticket to spellbinding adventures across the galaxy.<br/><br/>The writers in this book include many you now know, who were&mdash;in most cases&mdash;first published in one of the earlier anthologies. These names include: James Alan Gardner, Karen Joy Fowler, Nina Kiriki Hoffman, Robert Reed, Dean Wesley Smith, Ray Aldridge, Jamil Nasir, M. Shayne Bell, Jo Beverley, Leonard Carpenter, J.R. Dunn, Nancy Farmer, Astrid Julian, Michael H. Payne, Bruce Holland Rogers and Dave Wolverton.<br/><br/>This first-rate collection includes works from judges Anne McCaffrey, Frederick Pohl and Tim Powers, who if given the opportunity to enter this contest at the inception of their careers, would have done so with these well-told tales. Also included are invaluable tips on writing from Frank Herbert and Algis Budrys.<br/><br/>&quot;Writers of the Future is a terrific program for new writers, and goodness knows, there are few enough of those. It has my heartiest support and unqualified recommendation.&quot; &mdash;Terry Brooks<br/><br/>&quot;This contest has found some of the best new writers of the last decade.&quot; &mdash;Kristine Kathryn Rusch<br/><br/>&quot;This has become a major tributary to the new blood in fantastic fiction.&quot; &mdash;Gregory Benford<br/><br/>About L.

  <description>
    <![CDATA[A book that essentially redefines the term 'bibliography', Secret Histories has been nearly ten years in the making and brings together an astonishing range of Powers ephemera - a huge treat and a remarkable resource for both fans and collectors alike.<br/><br/>As well as a complete, illustrated reference of every Tim Powers book published to date, Secret Histories offers an extraordinary insight into the stories behind the stories, collecting together in a single volume Powers material previously seen only in private collections.<br/><br/>Poetry, drawings, research and plotting notes, novel outlines, early drafts, out-takes and an excerpt from the author's unpublished 1974 novel, To Serve in Hell.<br/><br/>Supporting these riches are story notes and commentary by Powers himself and you'll also find articles and essays from collaborators, friends and renowned Powers aficionados including Dean Koontz, Jim Blaylock, China Miéville, Karen Joy Fowler, John Bierer, John Berlyne and William Ashless. Powers: Secret Histories is an unprecedented bibliographic tribute celebrating the work of a truly extraordinary writer.]]>

    <![CDATA[This publication is not for sale to libraries. Rima Lanisell has a habit of losing things - car keys, sunglasses, lovers, and family members. Following the death of Rima's father, she goes to stay with her godmother Addison, a wildly successful, albeit eccentric, mystery writer. Addison's beach house seems the place to make sense of Rima's loss, yet she is soon caught up in a mystery of her own. Who stole a small and highly valuable object from Addison's kitchen? Why is Rima corresponding with an obsessive fan, using someone else's family name? Most importantly: what exactly was the relationship between Addison and Rima's father, and why did Addison name a murderer after him in one of her novels?]]>

Authors selected for this series include Dorothy Allison, Ted Chiang, Joe Haldeman, Ursula K. Le Guin, Kelly Link, and Joanna Russ.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;]]>
